sailorlike
Like a mariner
Sailorlike describes qualities associated with sailors—competence on the water, familiarity with nautical matters, or the weathered, capable bearing of someone who works at sea.
He moved about the deck in sailorlike fashion.
The word can also suggest the rougher aspects of sailor culture: coarse language, hard drinking, or a certain bluntness of manner.
